BA in Intercultural Studies

The BA degree in Intercultural Studies is designed to prepare students for both traditional missionary service (e.g. evangelism, preaching, teaching, church planting, and leadership training) as well as holistic non-traditional missionary roles. Mission teams today need expertise from a large variety of disciplines and vocational areas. These areas include Education, Teaching English, Business Administration, Computer Skills, Media, Health Care, Mechanics, Relief and Development, Engineering, Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, Athletics, Agriculture, etc. Students also have the option of choosing a semester-long internship (12 credit hours) or a two-month summer internship (4 credit hours). For more information contact the program director, Mike Nichols. Intercultural Studies is also offered as a minor.
